Biking to the RBC Heritage

Author:

In an effort to reduce traffic congestion and leverage Hilton Head Island and The Sea Pines Resort’s existing pathways networks, access to The Sea Pines Resort by bicycle will be encouraged for RBC Heritage ticket holders and volunteers.

Tournament and volunteer badges must be presented for entry into The Sea Pines Resort. Access will only be granted during tournament hours. Bike path signage will direct cyclists to the free parking locations located on the tennis courts at Harbour Town and in the parking lot near the 13th green off Plantation Drive. Bike parking facilities will be provided at these locations, and volunteers from the Kickin’ Asphalt Bicycle Club and local bike shops will assist all cyclists to safely park and lock their bicycles.

RBC Heritage ticket holders and volunteers may enter into Sea Pines by bicycle at one of two locations:

RBC Heritage ticket holders and volunteers who access Sea Pines by bicycle will be given maps and special safety instructions to help make this event safe for all pathways users.

Cyclists are encouraged to follow these rules:

-Motor vehicles have the right of way at all road crossings.
-When overtaking pedestrians, call out “passing on your left.”
-Do not speed on the pathways; ride safely and stay to the right.
-Obey all signals and signs; no cell phone usage when riding.
-Ride only on the pathways where they are provided. If on a roadway with no pathway, always ride with traffic and stay to the right, single file.
-Ride predictably; use hand signals and voice commands when changing direction or stopping.
-Bring locks to secure your bikes.

For route information, a bike trail map is available at rbcheritage.com/spectators/bicycling.

About Us

In September of 2006, Celebrate Hilton Head (CH2) burst onto the scene with a fresh perspective on Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the surrounding Low Country. At the helm was a team of young women (all under 30!) with no experience whatsoever in the publishing industry. The first year they made up the rules as they went along. CH2 (and CB2 – Celebrate Bluffton and Beyond), has evolved into a well-respected publication with over 150 advertisers and a distribution to over 47,000 locals and visitors each month.

Content ranges from Interesting Islander profiles and arts and entertainment pieces to food and wine topics and Hilton Head and Bluffton Business Profiles. CH2’s Bachelor of the Year Contest has blossomed into a greatly anticipated media event every year with viral marketing (i.e., Facebook, Twitter) contributing to the annual readership of those issues pertaining to the contest and over 700 people attending the Bachelor of the Year party held every October held at a local Hilton Head or Bluffton entertainment spot.

CH2 strives to give back to the community in which they have been so successful by sponsoring charitable events in both Hilton Head Island and Bluffton (Bluffton’s MayFest, put on by the Bluffton Rotary), donating editorial space to worthy organizations (Bold Strokes, Volunteers in Medicine, March of Dimes), and making the Hilton Head Island Rec Center the recipient of monies raised in conjunction with the Bachelor of the Year Contest.
